Tanya Roberts , LCSW

Tanya Roberts is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in California with over 20 years of experience in private practice. As an LCSW she is a licensed clinical social worker qualified to provide psychotherapy and mental health services. Over the years she has supported clients from age 8 to 80 who contend with depression, anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, and trauma, bringing experience across a broad range of life stages and concerns.

Her therapeutic style blends warmth with active engagement; she may use gentle humor to illuminate a concern or adopt a more directive approach when clarity and structure are needed. Tanya emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every interaction. She primarily uses a cognitive behavioral approach to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behavior patterns, and she integrates natural and holistic methods when appropriate. Her practice is grounded in matching treatment to the individual rather than asking the individual to fit a single technique.

Tanya frames change as a courageous process and offers listening, support, and guidance throughout the journey. She has availability for Better Help on Mondays and Fridays. She strives to return messages at least once a day, though when she is in session or working in person on Tuesday through Thursday it may take several hours or until the evening to respond.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

For many clients Tanya Roberts uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based approach that helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can be especially helpful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that affect relationships. She also draws on natural and holistic methods that support overall wellbeing - these may include lifestyle-focused strategies and complementary practices that align with a client's values and preferences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Tanya works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting tools and techniques as progress unfolds. The emphasis is on partnership and pragmatic steps that feel manageable.

Online therapy with a licensed professional offers flexibility to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose the communication mode that feels most supportive and accessible for the individual.
